    Question New System "Hiccups"?

    It seems so weird to me that the resolution dropped as a result of a memory settings reset . I'll try a clean OS install and see if im out of the woods. I do have a 3600 c14 kit, see #1 here. This is certainly an area of PC building where I might have over spent then? Im not looking for the...
